Exeter Bank vs. Gilman, Plaintiff in review, 8 N.H. 332

Parker, J, We are all of the opinion that this exception is fatal. The'statue of Dec. 29, 1832, sec. 14, after providing that actions on which judgment has been rendered, and in which any issue of fact has been joined, may be reviewed in the manner and under the limitations prescribed by law, enacts that all writs of review upon any such judgment, shall be made returnable in the courts of common pleas in the county where the judgment was rendered, &c. Prior to this time reviews were commenced in the court where the final judgment was rendered.

But this act made no provision for summoning a jury to attend in the superior court, all issues of fact being, by the act, to be tried in the common pleas ; and provision was, therefore, made for bringing all actions of review in that court, without reference to the court in which the judgment was rendered. For the same reason the next

section provided that all writs of Scire facias against bail and indorsers, founded upon any judgment and record of the superior court of judicature, may be brought, instituted and proceeded upon, in the courts of common pleas, in like manner as similar writs founded on judgments and records of the court of common pleas. And the court in which the action is brought or instituted, or in which it is made returnable, should issue the writ. If after the trial it becomes necessary, any action may be transferred to this court.

There is nothing, however, in the nature of an ordinary judgment on review to prevent such judgment from being rendered in the common pleas, although the original judgment was in this court. Writ quashed.
